Library Forum to Examine Environmental Challenges Facing Tribes
Thursday, October 18, 2007
Steven R. Parker, instructor of environmental technology at Pennsylvania College of Technology, will present a Library Forum program on Oct. 23 describing his experiences helping American Indian tribes nationwide fight "agroterrorism" the intentional attempt to compromise the country's food supply.
The session, which will be presented from 4 to 5 p.m. in Room 102 of the Madigan Library at Penn College, is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
Parker, an agroterrorism "master trainer," was contracted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to train tribal representatives to instruct tribal police officers, fire departments and others how to respond to an agroterror event.
He was an environmental manager for the tribes before joining Penn College, and he continues to help them identify and resolve environmental problems.
